‘Significant changes’ for Navitrans as it vows to continue operations


Navitrans has released a statement to say it will follow government guidelines for operating amid Covid-19. In it, it said it is committed to ensuring the health and safety of its employees and their families.  

To fulfil this commitment, it said it had taken some “drastic but necessary steps” but that it will continue to operate. It said: “the company guarantees continuity of its operations, but in the interest of transparency, we’d like to share with these adjustments with you. This is a crisis and we must fight together and we must each do our share.” 

The measures Navitrans will be taking to combat the outbreak are as follows: 

  • All Navitrans staff has been instructed to work from home as much as possible at this time: “Rest assured, if your rep is not reachable right away, he/she will get back to you as soon as possible. We’d also like to remind you that our central phone number remains on standby for all inquiries.”  
  • Due to the obvious risks involving travel right now, Navitrans has cancelled all non-mandatory travel as per government instructions.  
  • In light of following instructions, it will be reducing its face-to-face meetings as much as possible: “Colleagues are encouraged to hold meetings via phone call, Skype, Teams, TeamViewer, etc… Only critical meetings requiring in-person contact will be permitted. We encourage any face-to-face meeting taking place to follow the appropriate social distancing measures (remaining two metres apart).”  
  • It is taking additional measures in this challenging time to combat the spread of the virus, including no handshaking, no close contact and a mandatory distance between working desks when in the office. It will also provide tissues and disinfecting hand gel. 
  • In the event that one of its employees whom you were recently in physical contact with tests positive for Covid-19, it will inform you as soon as possible. It also urges any employee who is feeling ill to stay at home and self-isolate as per government instructions. 

To conclude, it said: “This is a precarious situation. As we cannot predict how this will evolve and what the impact on our staff will be, this may have an impact on ongoing projects, rollout and (planned) delivery. Our project managers are working on the matter and will be in touch shortly to discuss arrangements. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility in these uncertain times.  

While this time is challenging for us all, we are convinced that if we all do our part in following governmental instructions and applying common sense, we can reduce the duration and impact of this global pandemic.”
